Made by a neighbor who wanted better answers.

Living Lacey was created by Jake Pierpoint, a local real estate professional with Olympic Sotheby's International Realty, to make it easier to understand what's happening in the community we call home.

The goal is simple: make useful local information easier to find.

Lacey is changing quickly — new neighborhoods, new roads, new places to eat, and constant activity around the lakes. Most of that information exists somewhere: a City of Lacey agenda, a county permit, a WDFW stocking report, a business's own announcement. It's just scattered. Living Lacey gathers it, verifies it, and keeps it in one place with the source attached.

This is not a real estate website. It's a local guide. Jake's professional side lives in the Real Estate section, where market data and honest answers are the point. Everywhere else, the product is Lacey.

Editorial standards

Sourced

Current information — news, projects, businesses, events, statistics — carries a named source, a link where available, and a last-verified date.

Labeled

Confirmed, proposed, under review, and rumored are different things. Rumors are never displayed as facts.

Reverified

Time-sensitive records are flagged for reverification when they age past a set window, and marked amber on the site until they're checked again.

Independent

Spotlights and recommendations are editorial. Any paid placement is clearly disclosed. Reviews, ratings, and hours are never invented.
